Layers of imaginatively composed notes, accords and technologies by Kamila Lelakova, the first female perfumer for Boadicea the Victorious, has produced a bold perfume of tenacity and emotional impact. Defender opens with a rebellious shout of zesty ginger, grapefruit and unexpected swirls of dark liquorice and honeyed cognac mingled with a fascinating red berry compote and hints of kirsch. Orange blossom announces the arrival of Defender’s all-important heart of Night Blooming Jasmine and the background for the jasmine is an alluring blend of mournful myrrh, its earthy smoke and balsamic mood mixed with a note of hay absolute used by Defender perfumer Kamila Lelakova to hint at Boadicea’s childhood, farming wheat and barley with her family. The other main note is a verdigris leather accord, a seductive homage to the tactile, atmospheric nature of natural skins and hides.

Fragrance Story

The inspiration behind this remarkable scent

Defender

Defender is the magnificent incarnation of Queen Boadicea's enduring biography of power. Layers of imaginatively composed notes, accords and technologies by Kamila Lelakova, the first female nose for Boadicea the Victorious, has produced a bold perfume of tenacity and emotional impact. Defender is an extraordinary composition, opening with a rebellious shout of zesty ginger, grapefruit and unexpected swirls of dark liquorice, honeyed cognac mingled with a fascinating red berry compote and hints of kirsch. There is a metallic tang to the opening stages, adrenaline and silver pulsing to activate our senses and memories before coalescing into an intense language of tempered bombast.
